<p>Does Rutgers have anywhere on their website a typical outline for what you should take each semester for any particular major... I am transferring for fall 2011 and all but one of my classes transferred. Most went to the distribution requirements for SAS, one went to an elective and the other looks like it transferred but since I fulfilled that distribution, it doesnt go anywhere.. What happens to that course?? Also is there a place that I can find a four year plan for majors? Like a guide for what typical classes that should be taken each semester for each major so that you can follow it..? I had my scheduling and scheduled the rest of the distribution requirements. Some are now doubled as I want to take intro classes to see what major I might be interesed in...so example Into to communications falls under the social science requirement...but I have already fulfilled that..with a transfer from my previous college. What happens to that course if I decide I do not what communications as a major???</p>
<p>Just google ‘rutgers _____ major’. For ex, ‘rutgers communications major’ produced [Degree</a> Requirements - School of Communication and Information - Rutgers University](<a href=“http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/communication-major/degree-requirements.html]Degree”>http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/communication-major/degree-requirements.html)</p>
<p>As far as courses not applying to your major or SAS requirements: for those ‘extra’ courses you will just have additional college credits on your transcript, or use it towards your minor.</p>

<p>So you could potentially take courses that do not count anywhere and you could add on a semester since you dont’ have required courses.</p>
<p>Some majors are highly structured, like engineering and nursing. Most aren’t. They give you a list of basic requirements you need to meet. Usually it’ll be something like 5 core classes that could be from other fields, and then maybe 9 higher level electives that are major specific (these might also have other requirements in order to make sure you’re getting the most of the education).</p>
<p>For example, my first major was anthropology. They require you to take four intro classes (Human Evolution, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology). Then, you have to take something like 10 higher level electives, with one of each of those electives falling into one of the categories of the intro classes. So at least one Archaeology, Human Evolution, Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology higher level elective.</p>
<p>It may sound complicated, but it really isn’t. Most kids who get RU Screwed usually don’t take the time to figure out their major’s requirements, and do it to themselves. Degree Navigator is a really useful tool. You just have to make sure you’re caught up on what your major requires.</p>
